Paradise Found: Seaside Serenity Awaits at Stunning Beach Cottage Haven
Get ready for some light and airy inspiration when you tour today’s beach cottage by Donna Elle Design. Charming prints in blue and green pair extremely well with white and yellow throughout the home. This charmer is sure to put a smile on your face.
Breezy curtains reveal breathtaking waterfront views just outside the French doors. Gingham checks on pillows are the perfect complement to the floral fabrics.
A hydrangea patterned area rug in blue and green emphasizes a love of flowers. To the left of the door you’ll see a pair of seashell shadow boxes. Note too, the blue and white striped curtain rod.
Stepping back, we get a better view of the beach cottage living room painted in pale blue and surrounded by windows to take advantage of the seaside views. The painting above the white fireplace mimics the beauty of the water outside.
Yellow and white horizontal stripes line the walls of a waterfront facing bedroom. A seaside pattern decorates the twin beds. Wouldn’t you love having a view like this upon waking in the morning? You can almost smell the ocean through the open windows. What a great way to sleep!
A pale, yellow desk in the corner makes a great place to work while enjoying the scenic seaside. An ocean inspired rug adds a touch of pink to the room, along with a vase overflowing with fresh tulips. Such a pretty summer fresh bedroom.
A second bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling with a fireplace. I’m loving the little white rocking chair in the corner with the gauzy curtains blowing lightly from the ocean breeze.
Does this charming beach cottage make you want to go on vacation? Hubby and I travel to Maine in July and this home is making me anxious to go. I love the east coast and it’s possible that a summer New England trip is going to become an annual event.
Here’s a view of the exterior of the home, complete with its expansive waterfront views.
Did you fall in love with today’s beach cottage by Donna Elle Design? I really enjoy its light and airy appeal with perfect colors for a seaside location.
I love this home!
Me too! Glad you enjoyed it, Susan!
Can you share rug source?
Thanks.
Hi Thomas. The rugs are by Claire Murray. You can find them online on Wayfair, Etsy, and her website: https://clairemurray.com/collections/rugs
I remember seeing this home featured in a Claire Murray magazine years ago. What a beautiful home with heavenly view!
Hi Ellen!
The rugs in the home are by Claire Murray. I didn’t know there was a magazine. Thanks for that info.
Breezy blue and white? You know what I think!! Sigh
So pretty, isn’t it? Enjoy your Memorial Day, Deb!
This is such a dollhouse. Exactly what a beach cottage should look like…and I don’t even like blue! I can just imagine the sea breezes wafting through all of those gauzy curtains. I’ll bet they sleep like babes!
Hi Teddee! I remember you saying you don’t like blue. I actually thought about you when I wrote this post (I’ve been sharing a lot of blue lately). So glad you enjoyed today’s home tour

The fabrics used are perfect for these rooms. They flow well together and make for a serene and airy room, Love…
I agree, Diana. This home is sheer perfection!
Beautiful
This home is so beautiful and inviting! Enjoy your vacation to New England! We went to Newport, RI last year for several days and this September we will visit Maine; Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Then to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.
The fabric choices are lovely! It’s a little busy for me but I wouldn’t complain if this was my place to stay.
We visited Boston last year and this September will be in Maine. We rented a home in Bar Harbor area and so anxious to go. Maine and Puget Sound area clear on the other side are on my bucket list. Just reading Kim’s post on her blog where her and her husband have a home on Puget sound and take their boat around the different islands there with their 2 dogs! Such cute towns! One can dream..happy for Kim.
Enjoy your trip Jennifer! Tell us all about it:0)
